006 ❅ Video/Action for Heimdall

[Arya's at the Bank of Dvalin, she'd gone in to take out what small amount of money she had here with the intention of getting a present for a friend, but when she went to make the withdrawal, there had been something else waiting there for her. A golden helm, shaped with the horns of a bull. Arya's unsure why someone would leave her such a thoughtful gift, or why they didn't give it to her themselves rather than put it in the bank for her, but she looks absolutely delighted with it.

Sat on the steps outside the bank, she stuffs the fistful of runes she's withdrawn into her pocket, and turns the helmet over in her hands. It's a little big for her, obviously made for an adult, but she's sure she could have it modified. Besides, the next thing she needed to do now that she had the money for the gauntlets and anklets she wanted to get for Sophie was find someone who could make them; she could have the helmet altered at the same time.

She switches on the video on the bracelet, her face still full of excitement at the gift.]

Is there anyone here who's an armorer, or a blacksmith?

((OOC: Arya doesn't know that the helmet belonged to Loki, or that this means that he's gone from the city. Feel free to deliver the news to her, she needs some more Starkpain in her life))

[Though she and Loki had spoken on a few occasions, Samantha had never actually seen the helmet in question before. Its significance was somewhat lost on her while she looked at it.]

Can't remember the nearest one, but I'm almost sure there is one around here, maybe in your district. Nice helmet. Maybe a little flashy, but that'd scare the hell out of someone at your speed.

Little big, though, isn't it?

[Oh huh that's a pretty cool helmet. Not what he's used to, but still nice.]

You've got one here.

[Hiccup gestures at himself.]

[ robb's on his way!! because arya's in his area and he's not going to let arya wonder around too far. so in the video, he's getting ready to go out. but he passes her an inquisitive look. ]

Where did you get that helmet?

That's what I was thinking, too! People would think they were being charged by something, wouldn't they?

Yes, a little. I want to get it made smaller, though.

You know how to make armor?

[She sounds pretty impressed.]

Sure I can. Loads of other things, too, as long as you give me something to work with. I've been a blacksmith's apprentice since I was really young.

I don't have a forge of my own yet - still working on that - but one of the city men is letting me borrow his for now.

[Arya looks a little unsure when she sees Robb appear on the feed. She doesn't think he approves of her training and fighting, not at all, and she doesn't want him to try and take the helmet away from her.]

It was in my bank account.

[She holds the helmet up to the camera.] I have this, but I need it making smaller, to fit me. Could you do that? I want to have some gauntlets made too, for a friend. They're supposed to be a surprise, though, but you'll need her measurements, won't you?

I hope you do get a forge of your own!

[Hiccup studies the helmet intently.] I'd have to remake the helmet completely if you wanted it smaller, but I think I can change the bottom design to make a tighter fit.

How's that sound?

[She's happy there's a way of doing it that doesn't involve remaking it from scratch.] That sounds perfect! I can bring it to you now, if you like?

That works. Do you want to meet at the forge? It's right on the border between Freyr and Freya districts. I should be there in ten.

[He doubles back after a second.] Oh yeah, bring any ideas for the gauntlets with you. I can get the measurements later but I'd like an idea of what I'm working with first.

Exactly. If you haven't met Tavros, you should talk to him. He's got big horns like a bull on his head. Not the most intimidating sort [Understatement of the year...], but you might see if he's got any pointers on making it look impressive.

When you get that refitted, let me know. I want to see it on you. Should get some shoulder pads or something, complete the look.

All right! I haven't met him, but I'll look out for him.

Shoulder pads?

Freyr and Freya, all right. I'll be right there. [She's not exaggerating there; she's still taking every opportunity to use her speed powers.]

I'm not sure what they need to be like, really, as long as they look good and do their job. They're for my suitemate; she's a little older than me.

He's a troll, so you're looking for gray skin and big horns. Nice guy, kind of shy. And I mean like big metal pads, ones that give your shoulders a bigger, more imposing.

[ ... small girl, asking about armour? ]

What, you wanna get suited up?

Well, well. That helmet looks like it's a bit big for you.

But you certainly looked excited-- was it a gift?

[ he doesn't approve, not really. but hey, he knows maya's a pretty alright human being so - he doesn't press on that topic. ]

Did someone leave for you? { curiously, he's walking down the steps. totally coming down there and treating you to lunch or something like a proper older brother. making grey wind come with him. ]

Yes, but I don't know who. Why wouldn't they just give it to me?

[She stops dead when she sees Grey Wind beside him. She knew that he'd been brought here, but hadn't seen him in person until now. A tumultuous mix of feelings tumble through her. She's immensely jealous: Robb has his wolf here, but she's still missing hers. The amount of times she's just felt lost, would do anything for Nymeria to look up to her with her calming yellow eyes, let Arya cuddle into her, make her feel like everything would be okay. But at the same time, Grey Wind had arrived at the same time that Arya found Needle in her room. And as much as she missed Nymeria, she was so glad to have her sword, her connection to Jon. Maybe they'd been brought the things that would help them most in the battles that were sure to come. And as much as she wanted Nymeria there, would she trade Needle for her? She didn't know. She didn't want to have to be faced with that choice.

Needle's hanging from her belt right now. She'd forgotten that Robb didn't know that she had a sword. Seeing his younger sister with both a sword and a battle helm ... she was ready to stand her ground, she wouldn't let him take them from her.

Arya moves towards Grey Wind, holds out a hand for him to sniff. She hopes he remembers her. It was so long ago that they were all at Winterfell together.]

Is that what they are? [She's seen a couple of the trolls around, but doesn't know any of them personally.] I'd always thought trolls were bigger, and carried clubs.

That's a good idea. Maybe I can get someone to make me some of those, too.

[Arya nods excitedly, holding the helmet up to the camera.] I've never practised fighting in full armour before, but I want to try now that I have this!

It is a little big, but I think I can get it made smaller to fit me.

Yes, I found it waiting in my account when I went to withdraw some runes just now.

Different worlds, different sorts of trolls. The gray-skinned ones with the yellow eyes and orange or yellow horns are all trolls. Only one I ever saw carrying a club around was Gamzee. They... take some getting used to most of the time.

[She chuckled a little at that.]

And yeah, I imagine this will turn out good as far as looks go, especially at your speed. It'd look kind of odd if it were just someone standing around all the time, sitting on a throne or something.

Wonder whose it was originally.

Perhaps they couldn't.

[ he most certainly stops in his tracks when he sees arya and gives a moment to try to figure out why she's in a helm and carrying a sword. the helm is a little bit too large for he can't help it. he's still a boy of eighteen when push comes to shove and he's still arya's older brother. ]

Should I be surprised that I sooner see you in armor than a dress?

[ warmth in his tone. ]

Why wouldn't they be able to? Unless-- [She has a bad feeling then, and hurriedly scans the list of names on the bracelet. The only reason that made sense to her was that whoever had left this for her had gone. But who would--?

The names of her friends jump out at her one by one, but there's one crucial one that's missing. Arya can feel her stomach churning, but she won't cry, no matter how much she wants to, she won't cry in front of Robb the Lord, Robb the King in the North.

Loki had kept her strong in front of everything this place had thrown at her. And now the gods had sent him away. She should have seen it coming, really. Her hatred for them flares up again, more than ever.]

I think I know who it's from.

[Her voice sounds very small and empty.

Robb's teasing question, the warmth in his voice, keeps her from breaking down right there and then.]

What use is a dress in this place?

Who would waste such a good helm by sitting on a throne with it? In my world, they're worn for battle, especially stylised ones like this. [She runs a finger up one of the horns to illustrate.] They're made to look like the animal on the House Sigils, so the enemy knows who they ride against in battle.

Way too public for my tastes. But I'm the back alley fighting sort, not the front of an army sort. This would probably work pretty well that way. Bull sort of look, isn't it?

You ought to never let Sansa, hear that. [ it feels surreal, like he doesn't deserve it that they're both here in Asgard. ]

[ robb hones into that like a missile. he doesn't draw the same conclusions as arya does, but that's perhaps because at this point - in asgard, he hasn't lost anyone yet apart from the former daenerys. - robb is a little more closed with regards to what bridges he builds. after theon, the idea of making friends seems daunting - considering robb knows that at times of war the lines of friend and foe is blurred.

he watches her search for a moment until two and two piece together. perhaps the helm was a parting gift? and it's certainly interesting.

for what it is, robb knew loki as well - sympathized to his cause - perhaps now more than ever now that he's learned that gods can be callous about their demands. ]

Did you lose someone Arya?
